• Notes

  Mary Helen Haines notes: This is probably the John McFarlin listed in Capt. Carson's Co. in 1800 in Jefferson Co. with no land. He is in the same district as Benjamin McFarland. In 1830 census there are two John McFarlands listed. One is called John McFarland Sr. and one Jr. The dates for both men show them born bet. 1770-1780. One is Image 11, on same page as Alexander McFarland age 20-30. The other is on Image 3 (Jr.), , which I believe is this John McFarland. I have no idea why they are labeled Jr. and Sr. This John McFarland Jr. is living near to Augustus Rice (who is married to his eldest daughter) and Andrew B. McFarland, his brother. In the 1850 census, John and Elizabeth are living in the household of Orville Rice and Margaret in Hawkins Co. TN. District 11, Image 13, fam. 91. John is listed as a hunter, born in VA.
